LED lighting upgrades in Blackwall
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Blackwall we start by counting fittings and running hours, because payback depends far more on how long lights are on than on the price of the fittings.

Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Blackwall bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
In Blackwall warehouses and workshops the biggest savings come from swapping metal halide high bays for LED, where a 400 W lamp plus gear can often be replaced by a fitting drawing 150 W or less.
Our teams travel to Blackwall from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Canary Wharf, Canning Town and Bow, so we can often combine survey visits.
